Baidu, Qihoo Censor Searches About New Aircraft Carrier

The second of China's four reportedly planned aircraft carriers is said to be under construction in a port city in Northeast China, raising the public's enthusiasm.

Wang Min, the Party chief of Northeast China's Liaoning Province, Saturday told a panel at the annual session of provincial legislature that the second carrier is being built at a shipyard in the port city of Dalian.

(辽宁省委书记 国产航母) on Baidu and Qihoo were not returning any results, only a
censorship notice.
